Community leaders will educate their members of Congress about how immigration reform will support recovery for all Americans by enhancing tax revenue and economic growth and improving conditions in the workforce.

MEDIA ADVISORY

WHO:
Senator Robert Menendez (D–NJ)
Community leaders from more than 100 community-based organizations from 30 states and the District of Columbia

WHY:
This is a critical moment to urge Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Latinos, like all Americans, are concerned about our nation’s struggling economy. Comprehensive immigration reform would provide a real solution to the crippling recession that has led to record-level unemployment and increasing foreclosures.
